general problems of the 2009 Toyota Tundra

Frame perforation , front passenger side , bottom part of frame in critical point where weld is , in close distance from rack and pinion . At the dealer while servicing have asked to check the frame as there ben lots of concern from Tundra owners. I'm aware that early models have had frames replaced , perforation was found 7'' long by 3'' wide , vehicle was deemed not safe to operate . There is no action from Toyota on 2009's . Have called the Toyota brand rep to confirm and found that there is no action taken at this moment . There was no warning signs on dash as this is not part to be electronically monitored . This vehicle is well maintained and in its prime shape . Regularly washed with frame/chassis inhibitors (rastex) . Has only 146 k , for this model considering not broken in yet . I'm its original owner. Just spend a significant amount of $$$ on service and additional equipment, was looking for another 5 years +++ of use . Just purchased rav 4 and corolla s hatchback for family members . Toyota is not offering to help at no coast . I know that if my track will reach 15 year mark there will be nothing to be concerned by Toyota . Fix is estimated parts and labor over $10 k , I do not have this kind of money at this time as just purchased 2 bn Toyota's . Please help !!!!! , thank you.
